It features a 0.12-inch outside diameter and a 1.5-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 5 pounds and a spring rate of 8.43 lb per inch, making it well-suited for light-duty compression applications where consistent force and dimensional accuracy are critical. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and predictable load behavior across the usable travel range. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals working on HVAC controls, plumbing valves, electrical assemblies, and mechanical actuators commonly specify this spring type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is designed for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter, corrosion-resistant spring is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling. The 0.125-inch hole diameter spec indicates suitability for shaft-guided installations. Applications include valve return mechanisms, actuator return assemblies, switch plungers, and similar components found in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical control systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.12-inch outside diameter with closed and ground ends for stable, square seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch free length with a 0.902-inch solid height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire diameter of 0.0161 inches for precise load characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 5 pounds (23.19 N) at rated travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 8.43 lb per inch for predictable, linear force delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction with plain finish meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or sourcing solution for precision compression spring applications requiring a 0.12-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length, closed and ground end configuration in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall by qualified mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing technicians as appropriate to the host assembly. Confirm shaft or bore dimensions against the 0.125-inch hole diameter and 0.12-inch OD specifications before installation to ensure proper fit and concentricity. De-energize or depressurize any system before disassembly when replacing springs in valve, actuator, or control assemblies. Avoid overcompressing below the 0.902-inch solid height to prevent set or permanent deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0161 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.902 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds (23.19 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.43 lb per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36221GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971427238194,"sku":"36221GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45e07eeee919afda66b63491a25a9df3.jpg?v=1789957247","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36221gs-compression-spring-0-12in-od-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
